By Logan Sowash About two weeks ago, I saw the phenomenal filmIt Follows.The film was a refreshing horror experience that I was glad to catch as soon as I did. I’m a giant fan of horror, but unfortunately I haven’t found any other modern horror film to be anything outstanding. So when I heard about the local, advanced screening ofUnfriended, I decided to give it a shot and see the film with a couple of friends. After 82 minutes in the theater, my reaction to the film was far from expected.

Brittany Robertson – starring in the upcoming films Tomorrowland and TheLongestRide – is a 24-year-old American actress from North Carolina. She is the oldest of seven children and was homeschooled as a child. Britt started acting at the Greenville Little Theater in South Carolina. As a teenager, she moved to Los Angeles to live with her grandmother and pursue an acting career.

I typically don’t watch horror films, as they are often cliché. Upon hearing positive press about the indie horror filmIt Follows,though, I went to see for myself how it compared to other films of the genre. I can say that it was definitely worth the price of admission.

Sufjan Stevens' seventh studio albumCarrie & Lowellis his most simple, stripped down album to date. The project bears the name of his birth mother and her second husband Lowell, both of whom had limited interaction with Stevens until recently when he reconnected with her before her death in 2012. The album’s simplicity is also its beauty, featuring minimal pieces consisting of Stevens and his guitar with flourishes of other instrumentation. While this project lacks the massive scope and ambition of his previous work, such as his albumsMichiganandIllinoise,Carrie & Lowellis an excellent album in its own right, focusing on lyrics and emotional atmosphere.

Earl Sweatshirt’s sophomore album is as bleak and dark as its title and cover art suggests. While Earl’s 2013 debutDoriswas a somber album, it had its share of upbeat instrumentals and brighter subject matter. I Don’t Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside's style is a darker version of its predecessor's bleakest moments.

Frog Baby Film Festival 2015 was recently held in Pruis Hall at Ball State University. This was my first time attending this event and I enjoyed what I saw, given the number of impressive short films this year. Here are my brief thoughts on some of the films. Note that I’m only covering fourteen films out of the twenty-four showcased at the festival.

With the approach of Pixar’s upcoming film, Inside Out, I wanted to take a look back at some previous Pixar movies. My reasoning behind this stems from the level of emotion I can already predict from Inside Out. The second trailer was recently released, allowing more of the story to unfold. These additional details spark additional emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. Wait, those are the emotions centrally portrayed as characters in the new movie! Still, this movie is sure to tug on some heartstrings. On a similar note, I’ve compiled a list of the top five Pixar movies of the past that are most likely to make you cry.
